Sapienza and Invitalia have launched a new collaboration project to promote innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship within the University.

 The project, which opened with a kick-off event on June 25, will run for 12 months and aims to carry out training, dissemination, research and outreach activities to achieve three main objectives:

• dissemination of innovative and sustainable entrepreneurial culture
• dissemination of support opportunities for youth and female entrepreneurship;
• opening between the academic world, the Agency and the world of production.

In particular, the project foresees the implementation of the following activities

• Events for the dissemination of support opportunities for innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship: the first event was held on June 25 2024 and presented the initiative and the Invitalia calls for proposals;
• The second event (October 16, 2024) focused on women and youth entrepreneurship;
• Orientation and support services: contact point services at Sapienza aimed at training one/several doctoral students, within the framework of degree programmes belonging to the Faculty of Economics, on the portfolio of incentives for business creation, with the aim of facilitating direct contact between the university and the Agency;
• Master classes on the definition of innovative and sustainable business models, aimed at PhD students, researchers and graduands, to encourage them to critically review existing knowledge and try their hand at defining a business idea, with the support of tools/methodologies such as Business Model Canvas and Sustainable Business Models.
